Oregonians are passionate about our state’s air, land and water. Our natural resources are a wonderful legacy, a source of incredible food and fiber and a critical foundation of the state’s economy. From the beach bill, to statewide land use planning, to the Oregon plan for salmon and watersheds, Oregon has stepped up to protect our natural heritage for future generations. Oregon’s natural resource legacy is one all Oregonians can be proud of. We can and must continue building on that legacy.

Fourteen agencies each have a mission that somehow relates to protecting, improving or preserving public access to Oregon's natural resources.
